Requests for Money.

I am not asking for money. But I come across a lot of people who initially seem very nice and kind, and they have some ministry or orphanage they run, and it ends up that they ask me for money. What do you do in that situation? I am categorically poor, so I don't have that much money, and I already give to various ministries. What do you tell these people? How do you handle it?

If they ask for gift cards for any reason….don’t give it to them, either.

Is it the romance scammers that are lonely and easy to spot ...
or their victims?

And what are the scammers after ... money?
